Light Rail System Analysis
Santa Clara County’s light rail system has over the years grown as a series of extensions. The Light Rail System Analysis conducted by VTA is designed to provide the first comprehensive evaluation of the infrastructure and operational flexibility of the existing light rail lines as a system, and an evaluation of operational impacts and user benefits to the system of the planned light rail (LRT) and BART extensions.
The light rail system analysis focuses on making the LRT system as productive and efficient as possible given existing and potential travel market, and positioning the system to capture projected and latent passenger growth to the year 2035. The analysis represents the second phase of VTA’s Comprehensive Operations Analysis (COA) for the transit system. A COA for the VTA bus system was completed in 2007 and provided the framework for the re-design of the bus network introduced in January 2008.
The final product of the Light Rail System Analysis will be an investment program for the Light Rail System intended to identify needed improvements for the system over the next 20 years. This investment program will then serve as a guide for funding and capital improvements to realize the potential of the system.
